Andrea A nice wish for someone so "wise". You don't need this to come true, because you are already there. Thank you for the funny and sweet comment on my Chicken To Love poem. Hugs

http://www.paramountsong.com/song-contests Hi Andrea- Wisdom is the greatest possession of all-Solomon recognized that when he thot he had it all--yet had nothing. This is superb. Hope u are having a great day! Gwendolen

Seeing your comment was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for remembering Andrea. Sorry my friend for not submitting anything because of a kind of Project work I am currently doing as I am writing a TV serial. It is taking lot of my time, beside other routine works, but I am hopeful that my Musical Story would be liked. I really need good wishes from you & from all my friends. Thank you so much my friend I hope to start submitting soon. . Love & best wishes always…. Ravindra… Andrea Dietrich

A matchless piece of expressions, which looks to me more precious than any pearl or wishes. If one can get the gift of knowledge with wisdom, the whole world would be at your feet’s. Brilliant piece of imagination, wish and writing my friend. It's Gem from your seasoned pen Andrea and I extend my good wishes for its great success. ( continue in next ) Ravindra

Solomon had sometimes gone to see the Queen of Sheba, offered to seperate a baby, true mother said just leave her. Great verse babe...xox,,,,Don
